How wonderful to see youth being supported in their love of singing. As I have said for years, early support for anyone wishing to use their voice- in song, verse, or any other format- can change lives. Hearing that these talented youth go out into elementary schools to encourage even younger artists to acknowledge and pursue their passion through music makes my heart go pitter patter. I fought for years for beginning acting classes for young college students, having seen first hand the impact that "using our voices" can have on humans. How fabulous that these youth are both pursuing and sharing this life altering experience. I would love to attend one of their concerts! When I lived in St. Helena back in the late 1950s and early 1960s, I participated in productions put on in our back yard by the St. Helena Players. Those early experiences led me to a 30 year career in theatre, culminating with my Stage Managing at Woodminster Ampitheatre in Oakland, where three huge musicals continue to be staged each summer. Early support for artists is always needed. I am so glad it is happening in the Napa Valley in 2023!
Our Napa Valley teens are so talented!
